Here's Chapter 9. I know it's short, but the next chapter will definitely be longer. I wanted to give you something, though. I hope you enjoy it.
Pic on right is Jena Malone as Bria.

Max
I walked back into work with a Cheshire Cat grin on my face. My coworkers stared as I entered the room. I didn't say much to them at first. I could see Gina toward the back of the group, staring at me like she wanted me dead.
"What was that called, Loverboy?" Duane, my supervisor, asked.
"That was called, " I began, "being uncontrollably attracted to my hot, sexy, pregnant wife. Once we kiss, we usually can't stop until our needs are satisfied, if you know what I mean."
"Wow," Marcus exclaimed, "I wish Janine was like that."
I played it off. "Well, it can get to be a pain sometimes. For instance, it's sort of embarrassing that it happened at work."
Duane chimed in, "I wouldn't do it when Mike's around, but it didn't bother me one bit. In fact, the little missus will be getting lucky tonight because of it."
I laughed. "Glad I could help," I commented.
The guys were still staring at me when I walked back toward my desk. I looked at Gina, who had not taken her eyes off me. She walked over, sitting on my desk.
"You mean to tell me that you'd rather do your old, fat wife than all this," she said, moving her hands to showcase her body the way the girls working on game shows presented the prizes.
"She's hardly old," I began, "and she's pregnant with my son, and yes, she's unbelievably hot, and I never stop thinking about her. In fact, I never stop thinking about what it's like to touch her, kiss her, or be so far inside her we almost become one person. She's the most amazing woman in the world."
I shifted in my seat, and picked up a folder from my desk to cover the nonexistent tent in my pants. "Oh," I said, feigning surprise, "now I'm aching for round two." I tried to look turned on by what I had just been saying, but I didn't know if I was pulling it off. At least Gina was the only one around.
I looked sheepishly at her. "Um, I think I should go take care of this in the rest room," I said, standing up, with the folder still covering my very calm crotch.
She did exactly what I was hoping she'd do. She leaned forward, making sure her chest was practically falling out of her shirt, and put her hand on my leg. Under normal circumstances, I would have pushed her away before she got near me, but this was part of my plan.
"I can take care of that for you," she whispered playfully into my ear. Yuck. Her breath smelled like a hoagie.
Then, with a contented smile on my face, I looked down at her and said, "That was awesome, Gina, how did you do that?" I removed the folder that was concealing my crotch.
She looked utterly confused, but at least her face was away from mine now. "Do what?" she asked.
I looked down at the area between my legs. "You touched my leg, and, poof, I deflated instantly. You could help alot of guys out with that skill," I exclaimed.
Her face contorted into a mixture of what I can only describe as embarrassment mixed with rage. She became as red as a tomato as she stood there, thinking of something to say.
"Um, okay. You're welcome, I guess," she responded. Suddenly, she seemed to regain her ability to move, and she hurried away back to her cubicle.
I had to make a conscious effort not to laugh out out loud. She was such a jerk. It served her right to think her unwanted touch was enough to make me limp at the drop of a hat. This day couldn't get any better.
Brent
The boys' paternity tests had been sent away the day they were born. It had been a quick cheek swab for each baby. Dane, Max and I had also swabbed our cheeks. Cassie seemed pretty sure they weren't Max's, but he had to be ruled out. It made it even more difficult now that Max and Dane were half brothers.
The doctors had just told Cassie they were coming in with the results this afternoon. I was nervous. I really wanted the boys to be mine. I was overwhelmed by how much I loved those babies. I would be honored to have been a part of the process that gave them life. I know how dishonorable the whole act had been, but I was hoping to be able to make that up to Cassie in due time. For now, I was focused on finding out if these were my biological sons.
A moment later, the doctor entered the room. Cassie reached for my hand, since I was sitting at her bedside.
"Okay," he said, clearing his throat, "the results are in."
"Please tell us, Doc," Cassie pleaded.
"Well, it was difficult with Daniel. His results were inconclusive. We'll need to run the test again. What I can tell you, though, is that Brent is not his father. The fact that the two possible fathers are related makes it a little more difficult."
Cassie gasped, and a sigh escaped my lips. I was crushed that I wasn't their biological father.
"Hold on, there, folks," he began. "We still haven't gotten to Levi. His results were very easy to interpret. Brent is his father."
"What?" Cassie questioned.
"You see, Cassie," the doctor explained, "when a woman as promiscuous as yourself becomes pregnant, it is not out of the question for a different, um, participant's sperm to fertilize each egg. You must have released two eggs, even though you claim to have been on the pill, and during your many bouts of intercourse that weekend, two different men ended up fathering your sons."
Cassie looked slightly embarrassed. If she hadn't constantly brought up her whole sordid situation to the man every single time she saw him, I might have punched him. As it was, the guy was simply using the information Cassie had offered up time and time again. I think it was her way of trying to make up for her misguided ways.
I was ecstatic that Levi was mine, though. Not that I would love Daniel any less, but I was proud to have contributed to making such a beautiful little boy. I couldn't wait to tell the crew. I just hoped, for Max's sake, that Dane was Daniel's father. Max and Rhia would not be thrilled to find out Ethan had a half-brother. I guess we'd just have to wait and see.
Bria
I felt like I would explode any day now. Hannah had grown so much in the past few days, it seemed. My skin actually hurt, it was pulled so tight. At my appointment this morning, the doctor had said I was dilated 2 cm. She explained that this could take awhile, or that it could go very quickly. I came home and packed my hospital bag, just in case. Jason had gone to work, so I was home alone. Rhee happened to call me at that moment.
"Hey," I said, answering the phone.
"Hi! How are you?" she replied.
"Feeling ready to burst," I answered.
"I know how you feel," she responded. "I really want Ethan out."
"Yeah, I would be happy if Hannah would hurry and get here, too," I added. "So, what's going on?"
She told me all about how she and Max had pretended to do the deed at his workplace, even though they had just gone into the rest room and made alot of noise. She then explained how Max had fooled Gina into thinking she could touch him and turn him off. I had to admit, I was very proud of them for not actually having sex in front of everyone. Before Rhia had gotten pregnant, they'd had many close calls. They were wild and crazy when it came to each other, and they weren't afraid to show it.
Jason and I, on the other hand, had been hornier since I've become pregnant. Granted, during this last trimester, we've definitely slowed down, but we were still very active. In fact, if this baby didn't come soon, I'd be willing to experiment to see if a round in the bedroom with my husband might cause my body to go into labor. My due date was tomorrow, so I was waiting not so patiently until at least then.
I focused my attention back into Rhee's phone call. We shared pregnant lady moments, and she filled me in on Dane being Max's half-brother. I could hardly believe it. She also told me about how she was pretty sure Joey was going to end up with Brent's ex, Kristy. That shocked me a little, but I'd never been too fond of Lexi. Eventually, we hung up, and I went to do my pregnancy workout, hoping Hannah would decide to start fighting her way out of me. I couldn't wait.
Camille
After lunch with my niece the other day, it was evident that she was indeed completely and totally in love with her friend Lexi's boyfriend. I was pretty sure that she had been falling in love with him for quite sometime, but couldn't bring herself to admit it. She and Brent had stopped being intimate after he became focused on caring for his one night stand. She refused to self-stimulate, so she was probably overcome with a combination of both emotional and physical longing. Releasing it in her dreams was her way of consciously avoiding her predicament.
I was fairly certain that the young man with whom she'd become infatuated was the main focus of her dreams, but she was so upset with herself, she couldn't admit it while awake. I felt terrible for her. I gave her some stress relieving tips that I hoped would help, but I wasn't sure anything except the object of her affection could help her with her issues.
My session with Dane had originally been scheduled for today, but the center had asked me to reschedule it in two days, since he was almost ready to be released. My heart hurt at the thought. I hoped Dane still wanted me when he escaped the center. I'm not sure what would ensue following his release, but I hoped he'd still seek me out when he needed to talk, or do other things. My loins ached at that thought.My feelings for Dane had intensified with each intimate encounter. I can't deny that every time he brought up Rhia, who he seemed to have liked the most out of his exes, I became insanely jealous. I hoped more than anything that he felt more for me than he had for her. I wasn't sure, though, so I had to stay somewhat guarded. Even so, it was becoming increasingly difficult to keep myself from pulling out all of the stops when it came to Dane. I have never felt anything this strong, or this pure before. What was happening to me?
